I don't feel like getting into a debate, but I think you're overlooking the basic fact that around 27% of the world's population live in extreme poverty (that is, those who don't earn an equivalent of US$1 a day). You see, when you say "good", you are being far too ambiguous, but like I said, I don't feel like debating :rolleyes: . If you want to really get into it, I recommend books on Political Philosophy (Locke/Hobbes/Rawls etc.) Happy philosophizing!
Yes but how many of those people included in the 27% don't even have a proper concept of what money actually is? I'm always a little skeptical about statistics like that, which get thrown around without any proper description of what they actually represent, and who they include...
like yesterday I read on an ad that like 50% of children in Canada have trouble reading... What exactly does something like that mean, and how outrageous does that sound?
No need for a debate. We agree.
And I know that the world is far from perfect, but that is exactly why I think that "living in a country where obesitas, wars you fight in other countries, fear of reform, no real government for 6 months, etc" proves that those are very good places to live in right now
